Description

This form is a sample letter in Word format covering the subject matter of the title of the form. Dear [Judge's Name], I hope this letter finds you well. I am writing to request a Motion to Dismiss for Want of Prosecution in the case of [Case Name and Number]. As the representative for the defendant, I believe that the plaintiff's lack of action and failure to move forward with the case warrants a dismissal. Under Kentucky law, specifically Kentucky Rules of Civil Procedure 41.02 and 41.05, a Motion to Dismiss for Want of Prosecution may be requested when the plaintiff fails to diligently prosecute the case or fails to take necessary steps to move the litigation forward. It is necessary to emphasize that the plaintiff has the responsibility to keep the case moving and demonstrate due diligence in pursuing their claims. In the aforementioned case, it has been [time period since the case was filed] since the plaintiff last took any action to further this litigation. Despite ample time and opportunities given to the plaintiff to proceed, they have failed to exercise any diligence or display serious engagement with the case. This lack of action not only causes unnecessary delay but also leads to undue burden and expense on the defendant. Moreover, it is essential to recognize that dismissing the case for want of prosecution is within the court's discretion, and such a dismissal is warranted when the plaintiff's lack of diligence causes prejudice to the defendant. The delay in this case has been prejudicial to our client as it hampers their ability to present their defense effectively, denies them a speedy resolution, and perpetuates an unjust situation. Furthermore, it is important to mention that there are different types of Kentucky Sample Letters for Motion to Dismiss for Want of Prosecution that can be utilized, depending on the specific circumstances of the case. These variations may include: 1. Motion to Dismiss for Want of Prosecution — Lack of Action: This type of motion is applicable when the plaintiff asserts a claim but fails to take any action within a reasonable timeframe, resulting in significant delays and prejudice to the defendant. 2. Motion to Dismiss for Want of Prosecution — Failure to Comply with Court Orders: In cases where the plaintiff repeatedly fails to comply with court orders, such as providing necessary documentation or attending scheduled hearings, a motion can be filed to dismiss the case for want of prosecution based on this disregard for court orders. It is my sincere belief that the circumstances of this case clearly demonstrate the plaintiff's lack of prosecution and their failure to diligently pursue their claims. We, therefore, kindly request that you grant our Motion to Dismiss for Want of Prosecution, as it is in the interest of justice, fairness, and the efficient functioning of the court system. Thank you for your attention to this matter. If there are any further documents or information you require, please do not hesitate to contact me.
